Charity workers put the finishing touches on a tent hospital in New York’s Central Park

The U.S. continued to lead the world in number of cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, as state governors continued to complain about inadequate testing and predict that the worst is yet to come.

The governors of New York, Montana, Ohio, Washington and Virginia have said they are struggling with containment efforts because of a shortage of testing kits and that message was repeated on a call with President Donald Trump on Monday, according to media reports.

Trump said he had not “heard about testing in weeks,” suggesting the issue was no longer a problem, according to media reports, including the New York Times
. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he expects the peak number of cases in the state to come in the next six to 21 days.

New York has 75,795 cases of the virus, according to Cuomo at a press briefing on Tuesday,
and at least 1,550 New Yorkers have died. One the latest New Yorkers to become infected is Cuomo’s younger brother Chris, a CNN anchor.

There are 10,929 people being treated in hospital in New York, 2,710 of whom are in ICU. A tent hospital is expected to open in Central Park on Tuesday to alleviate the overcrowding elsewhere. The makeshift facility, which is being funded by the charity Samaritan’s Purse, will have 68 beds and will treat coronavirus patients from Mount Sinai Health System’s hospitals in Brooklyn and Queens.

The move comes a day after a naval hospital ship arrived on Manhattan’s west side and the Javits Convention Center’s 1,000-bed temporary hospital opened.

The U.S has the most number of cases worldwide, at 175,067, and at least 3,440 deaths, meaning the death toll has surpassed the number who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The U.S., Italy and Spain all have more deaths than the official number offered by China.

Italy has the second highest number of cases at 105,792 and at least 12,428 deaths. Spain takes third place with 94,417 cases and at least 8,269 deaths. China, where the virus was first detected in December, has 82,278 cases and 3,309 deaths. Germany has 68,180 cases and 682 deaths; France has 45,232 cases and at least 3,532 deaths. Iran has 44,605 cases and at least 2,898 deaths.
